Angelina Jolie has sent me a movie. It starts with a steady pan across a cluster of conical plants resembling Marge Simpson’s beehive, an azure sky behind it, and the sound of gently trickling water. A few bees dip in and out of frame, and the camera slowly zooms in on one particularly fat specimen,

Ah, TikTok, the home of everything we hold dear—celebrity gossip, dating advice, try-on hauls, and innovative beauty trends. After hours of mindless doom scrolling, one trend has caught our attention: ombré concealer. With nearly six million views and counting, #ombreundereyes is here to stay, and honestly, we aren’t surprised. From ombré hair to ombré nails,

While Tarte Cosmetics may be known for their larger than life #trippinwithtarte influencer trips, the brand has always focused on giving back—whether it’s honoring health care workers by inviting them to Tarte offices for a gifting suite or ‘Tarte Loves Teachers’ where in 2022, the brand spent $50,000 to clear teachers’ wish lists.

In the ever-evolving world of scalp health, pumpkin seed oil for hair has emerged as one ingredient users claim dramatically improves density, length, and growth rate of hair.

I’ve impulsively cut my hair more times than I can count. Whenever something minor happened, I would rush to the nearest salon and ask them to do their best. And after the initial thrill wore off, I’d find myself in a “what have I done” fugue state, desperately searching the internet for tips on how

Rebecca Faria has sculpted some of the world’s most familiar bodies in preparation for their highest-profile moments: she was on hand for Sofia Richie’s wedding weekend, prepped Kim Kardashian for the Met Gala, and snatched Jennifer Aniston for her Allure cover.

Forget the Renaissance visuals—Beyoncé’s focus seems to be on building her beauty empire little by little.

Summer has arrived, and everyone is thinking about one thing: Amazon Prime Day, of course.

We all know this scene: It’s dawn. You hear the birds chirping as you drift in and out of an early morning slumber—and suddenly—the loud beeping from your alarm alerts you it’s time to get up. You hit snooze…and then later…too much later, you get up and scramble to make it to work. No need

Heaven, it turns out, is a place on earth—and it’s in Paris, floating on the Seine.

It should come as no surprise that, post-pandemic, people are slowing down. Way down. The side effects of social distancing run deep.

Some of us realized we hated our

As a beauty writer, my beat is to discover trending makeup and skincare products before they go viral. Naturally, one of my most trusted sources for new and noteworthy products yet to reach the American masses is TikTok’s K-Beauty scene. A few scrolls a day introduced me to COSRX’s celeb-secret snail mucin moisturizer, AHC’s Eye

For many of us, myself included, the word detangling stirs up childhood memories of scented kids’ detangling sprays and loved ones mercilessly ripping knots and tangles straight out of our sensitive scalps. In response to such atrocities, I ditched detangling brushes and sprays altogether and convinced myself that grown-ups “prevent breakage” by using wide-tooth combs
